DC airports to hotel

Transport alternatives from the 3 Washington area airports to
the Washington Hilton hotel.

FROM REAGAN AIRPORT:

  As Brian states (below), a taxi or Metro makes sense from
  Reagan airport because it is quite close to downtown DC, and
  there is a Metro station at the airport.

  Best alternatives:
  - Taxi: about US$ 18.
  - Metro (subway):  $2 - $3  Walk 4 blocks from Metro to
      hotel, see Brian's directions below.
  - Supershuttle: $12 first person, $8 each additional person.

FROM DULLES AIRPORT:

  Dulles is rather far out in Virginia, no rail or Metro.

  Choice of:
  - Direct taxi: $50.
  - Supershuttle: $25 one person, $8 each additional person
      going to same hotel.
  - Cheapest:  Washington Flyer Shuttle to Metro, take Metro,
      transfer to second Metro, walk 4 blocks to hotel, $10-12.

  From Dulles, SuperShuttle is the best compromise between price
  and convenience. Small vans, run 24 hours, may stop at several
  hotels before getting to yours.

  SHARING SUPERSHUTTLE: To get the reduced rate, before you
  board the SuperShuttle, check in with the Supershuttle
  dispatcher in the bus area, say you are with the IETF and name
  the hotel you are going to, the SuperShuttle people are nice
  and will permit you to share at the $35 + $8 price.

  At Dulles, directions to Supershuttle bus: Collect your
  baggage and follow signs for ground transportation leading you
  directly to the SuperShuttle boarding area located on lower
  level, outside at curb 1D or 1E. There will be a uniformed
  SuperShuttle dispatcher. After 12:00 midnight call
  703-416-7884.

BWI - BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON AIRPORT:

  Far from downtown DC.

  - No Metro, there is a train station 1 mile from airport, but
      complicated.
  - Supershuttle:  $31 first person, $10 each additional to same
    hotel.
  - Taxi: About $63.

SuperShuttle will stop at many but not all DC hotels.  You can
inquire at http://www.supershuttle.com/htm/cities/dca.htm or
+1 202 296-6662 or 800-258-3826.
